Magical Forest Mini Album – Crate Paper

February 21, 2020

Hello Crate Paper friends!  Today I have a super sweet mini album using the gorgeous Magical Forest collection.  Magical Forest is whimsical with such lovely colors and characters!  It made mini album making super easy!

I made my 3.5″x 4.5″ album from with chipboard, I covered the outside with my favorite paper – Wildflower.  Inside I added the Imaginary paper.  I love the combination!  I decided to add a book ring to the back cover to house a tag flip-style mini album.

I had to use this sweet little girl sticker on the front cover, I gave her a place to “live” with the grow like a wildflower die-cut and a small label on the bottom.  I added the pink fabric bow to the top of the spine for extra cuteness!  I love the addition of special embellishments that Crate Paper adds to the collections!

Inside I stacked up all kinds of “pages” onto the ring.  First is a sweet rainbow tag and butterfly from the Magical Forest ephemera pack.

Next, I used the library card, the Park Thickers alpha and a sticker that just happened to be the perfect one for my photos.  Hannah was 8 in these photos!

I used ephemera and cut-apart cards from the Willow paper for the photos.  I added cute little flower stickers from the Magical Forest Sticker Book to the photos.

I made a few tags from vellum and decorated them with stickers from the Sticker Book to make an overlay for the photos below the vellum.  Love how they turned out!

I can tell that the Park Thickers will be one of my favorite alphas this year!

I made a pocket with a smaller tag that pulls out and decorated the front with the squirrel sticker and a few more flower stickers!  I love the sweet characters in this collection!

Another vellum overlay using clear stickers!

I haven’t made a mini this size before and I adore how cute and little it is!  It is fun to hold and flip through and the perfect size for the gorgeous cut-parts and ephemera included in Magical Forest.

Magical Forest is a dream to create with.  I definitely love how this mini turned out and I think you will love this collection too!

Taking Time to Play – Scrapbook

February 10, 2020

Today I took some time to just play!  I was naturally drawn to bright and white with some black.  The first collection I got out was La La Love and that led to including pink!

I ended up getting out Felicity Jane, my random pink stash bin and some Heidi Swapp PL cards and a few black alphas from my stash.  I had loads of fun, but there is a huge mess to clean up!! Thanks for stopping in!

Valentine Coloring Cards – Crate Paper

February 7, 2020

Hello Crate Paper friends, happy February!  I have some super fun Valentine cards today that are perfect to give to anyone who loves to color! They are also great just as they are!  I used the new Magical Forest stamp set, I adore the little critters and it has great sentiments for Valentines!

To make the cards I cut white cardstock for 4.25″ x 5.5″ cards.  I then designed a heart shape onto the same size rectangle and cut it out on my Silhouette.  This gave me a “mask” to place on top of my card to stamp in.  I clipped the mask onto the card with three paperclips to hold it in place.  Before stamping I traced around the inside of the heart with a fine tip black marker for a nice finished edge.

Next up is to stamp away!  I stamped the largest images first so that I could have a nice placement.  I then filled in open spots with smaller stamps, making sure that I stamped onto the side of the heart (onto the mask) so the heart would look full once the mask was removed.

I can tell you that I couldn’t stop making cards!  I love how they look and mixing and matching with the stamp set, gives you so many different looks!  I think that these cards would be great any time of year as well!  For a variation, you could include stickers or chipboard inside the heart as well.

I coloured a card with some coloring pencils to see how it looked, you could color in the images before giving the card or include a package of brand new pencils as a small gift with the card!  Watercolor markers and markers would be fun too!  The great thing is that you can customize the colors to the person you are giving it too, I can totally see the cards colored with rainbow colors!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Happy Heart Day!

Altenew January 2020 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

January 24, 2020

 

I am super thrilled to be a part of the Altenew January Blog Hop!  I have lots of projects to share using the new releases and Altenew has prizes to give away!  You can find all the details and the start of the Blog Hop HERE at the Altenew blog. You would have arrived here from Laurie’s blog!

I chose some gorgeous floral stamps and a super versatile title and sentiment stamp to work with!  I was surprised at how easy it was to use the layers in the stamp sets to achieve such a gorgeous floral!

Here is the full reveal of the release!  You can find every detail on this Altenew page.

For my first project, an 8.5×11 scrapbook page, I used the Simple Beauty Stamp Set and Die.  I also used the Floral 6 MIni Cube set for my floral and for the “paint” on the background.  I simply stamped the ink pad onto packaging, spritzed a bit of water and flipped the packaging over onto my layout!  I inked a piece of cardstock with the dark pink ink and then die cut the hugs word from the Hello and Hugs Die Set.

Close up of the layout.

My next project is two cards.  I love how they turned out!  I used the Hello and Hugs Die Set to cut the thinner words from black cardstock and I also die cut the larger outline from white cardstock and adhered them together!  On the hello card I stamped the floral cluster directly onto the background and then stamped the Simple Beauty Floral separately for dimension.

Close up of the hugs card!

For my last project, I made a traveler’s notebook spread with Simple Beauty, Retro Plantines and Hello and Hugs.  I used the Floral 6 MIni Cube set for stamping.  I just love how all the products work together!

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 1/30/2020 for a chance to win.

Snow Fun Mixed Media Layout using Snowflake – Crate Paper

January 24, 2020

Hello, Crate Paper friends! Today my assignment was to make a creative layout. Naturally, for me, that means getting the mixed media out. I love how my page turned out, and as usual, with mixed media, it looks like a hot mess in the process!

I started my layout with blank white card stock, I added clear gesso and let it dry. I decided to focus on the greens in the Snowflake collection, and the blue from my photo. I began with a deep green watercolour paint, and scraped it onto the card stock with a palette knife. Once that had dried for a few minutes, I scraped on turquoise/sky blue acrylic paint. My next step was to use the snowflakes from Snowflake stamp set to add scatters in snowflakes in blues and greens around the painted area. To finish up the paint, I added a gold glaze with the end of a pencil in random dots and blue and gold splatters.

Once the background had thoroughly dried, I placed my photo and title on the painted area. I cut the “snow” title on my Silhouette. I adhered my large photo over the O. I created a journal tag and layered a large metallic die cut snowflake, a deep green snowflake, and a ticket die cut with a ribbon onto the tag. I tucked the tag beneath the photo and title on an angle. To soften the edge of the photo, I added a snowflake with a chipboard tree and tucked in a piece of the greenery from Snowflake

To add some final details, I scattered gold snowflake stickers around the focal points of the layout. I added a small title using the Thickers from the Heritage collection.

It was fun to give myself the creative challenge of using colours I don’t normally use. I love the combination of blue and dark green. Snowflake is a very versatile collection. Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you find the opportunity to get creative with your layouts!

Mixed Media Traveller’s Notebook Spread – Vicki Boutin

January 9, 2020

I have a bright colourful spread in my TN to share today using a mix and match Vicki Boutin products!


I started out by “swiping” 5 of the ink wedges across the left side of my page.  I created a heart cut file in Silhouette and added it on top of the ink once it had dried.  I used the dots stamp on top of the cut-out hearts from the cut file to embellish the page along with stickers from the American Crafts Vicki Boutin sticker book!

I kept finding stickers that matched so well with the ink colours!  The arrows are so cute!

The right side of the spread has the leftover paper that I used under my “swiping” and stamping page.  It was a perfect match and artsy so why not stick it in!  I added a foam phrase from All the Good Things Thickers under my photo and continued to embellish with stamped hearts and stickers!

I love how bright and cheery my pages turned out.  This would be a fun technique to use on a scrapbook layout or in different ink colours!  Really simple and effective!

Scrappy Goals Layout – Crate Paper

January 8, 2020

Hi Crate Paper, friends! Happy New Year! I hope you found some time to craft during the holidays. Today I’m sharing a layout with some of my goals for 2020 using the Maggie Holmes Heritage collection.

I started my layout with blank white card stock; I used a stencil and ink on a dauber to get the pattern on to the background, I chose a mustard colour to coordinate with the Elsie paper from Heritage. Next, I added some splatters in gold and pink. Once the background was dry, I got to work on my title. I made my own “goals” title in Silhouette, I cut three words from white card stock, and one from the Elsie paper. I adhered all the words together to create a “chipboard” title.

Next, I created long, skinny tags from white card stock, first adding my journaling in Photoshop. I trimmed them to size and added hole protectors, and a black bow to each one. I adhered them to the layout with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension. Next, I added cute chipboard icons to each tag. The top tag for my craft room organization goal gets a chipboard star from Snowflake. I especially love the little camera on my photo’s goal tag. The final tag for my PL goal I added a sweet little book and a bird.

In the space between the title and the tags, I added a subtitle using the Comfort Thickers from Snowflake. To further embellish the title, I added a cluster using the chipboard Silhouette oval over top of the A, a star die cut from Snowflake, and a goals label from the Crate Paper Journal Studio sticker book. To finish it off I added a metallic chipboard star from Snowflake.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I encourage you to create something about your goals for 2020.

Citrus Twist Sunday Sketch – Dear Lizzy

January 5, 2020

Hello and Happy New Year friends!!  Today I am sharing a new layout using the Sunday sketch!  I am pretty sure I squealed a bit when I opened the January Scrapbooking Add-On kit!  It is fresh and gorgeous and so lovely to work with!

I decided to use the 8.5×11 sketch for a 12×12 layout.  I wanted to use loads of patterned papers!  I began with white card stock and trimmed papers at various widths and all 12″ long.  I stacked the papers and adhered the stack together.  Before I adhered the stack down I added a bit of mixed media on either side of the stack.

I spent some time fussy cutting flowers from the Dear Lizzy paper and then went to work on my title.  I used the Spencer Outline Stamp to stamp on pink paper and fussy cut the letters.  I added tiny white dots with a gel pen for a bit of pizazz!  I finished the title with the tiny blue Pinkfresh Alphas and the exclusive gorgeous pink foam alpha from Citrus Twist Kits.  I used the “This is Life” stamp set to add the cute hearts and the new Italic alpha stamp for the word love.

I love how my layout turned out.  The fresh fun colors were just what I needed for a bit of zip this time of year!  I’d love for you to use the sketch and see what you come up with!

My crafty intention today was to use some alphas f My crafty intention today was to use some alphas from my stash! I picked these foam holographic ones and then couldn’t find anything to go with them! I finally decided just to keep it simple. I had a hard time with the journaling in this angle and ended up just copying the block of text to each side, I really like how it turned out. I stamped the top band of paper with a Heidi Swapp leaf stamp to match my pajamas! Simple is not always easy haha!
